Please use this form to to suggest that we protect a tree or trees in the Broadland District or South Norfolk area by issuing a Tree Preservation Order (TPO).
A TPO is a special form of control that applies to certain trees.
TPOs are almost always used to protect trees that are visually significant and/or can be seen from a public place, so that they contribute to the look of the local surroundings.
TPOs are made when trees are under threat of being cut down or damaged. It is illegal to cut down, prune, or damage a tree that is protected by a TPO without the Council's consent. The unauthorised lopping or felling of such a tree is a serious criminal offence and can result in a fine of up to £20,000.
